Abstract
A pincers attachment for a surgical handle has a connecting rod which is axially displaceable by operation of the handle. At the distal end of a shaft there is a laterally opening recess for receiving a clip having compressible legs. The distal end of the connecting rod is connected to a closing rod which presses the legs of the clip together in the recess when the handle is actuated.
